Conclusion
The study presents a three-dimensional polymeric complex formed by zinc cations linked by mpdc anions, showcasing a zeolite-like structure.
Supporting Evidence
- The zinc cation is coordinated by five mpdc anions in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry.
- The structure features weak C—H⋯π interactions.
- The polymeric complex has a zeolite-like topology.
Takeaway
Scientists created a special structure using zinc and a chemical called mpdc that connects them in a unique way, forming a framework with tiny holes.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by heating a mixture of zinc nitrate, mpdc, triethylamine, and water in a sealed reactor.
